Theatre Arts 12 | OHCC LIVING | FEBRUARY 2021 | How many ways can we say "It's been a slow month?" Hopefully, we will soon be able to receive Clubhouse room assignments and get back to life as "normal." It all depends on the government's COVID-19 regulations and staff availability. For now, members will be informed of any programming by email, as events are scheduled. All in-person performances are on hold until the powers-that-be allow for it once again. Theatre Arts stands shoulder- to-shoulder with (and six feet apart from) the staff and residents to keep each other healthy. Director, Patricia Moran Collins, will produce a Zoom play reading in April, 2021. Auditions will be scheduled and notice given soon. Calling All New OHCC Residents: If you have any interest in the theatre (acting, reading, costumes, set design, audience, etc.), please consider joining the Theatre Arts Club. Contact Jean Hefler at jeanhefler@hotmail.com for more information. Actors' Workshop and Readers' Theater have ceased gathering in public. They are, however, open for new members. For information, please contact Sally Benton by phone at (602) 228-7541 or email moki2@cox.net. MEMBERS ONLY! If you missed the Play Readers Theater's production of Anita Simons' play, The Leisure Set, which aired via Zoom on Dec. 7, 2020, you may have a second chance. The play was very well received and Anita is working on copying the raw video footage into a format that will be available to members only in February. At right are photos from the production's talented cast: Valerie Thompson, Maureen Schneider, Dee Wardell, Sunny Griffin, Joe Ashby, Ros Nesler, Jody Gorran and Lois Powazek. This is just another reason to join Theatre Arts now for only $10. Play Readers are planning another "original" Zoom production in March before the next major production planned for spring 2021. Don't miss out on all the plays and readings planned for 2021, because, as Anita reminds us, "there's no business like show business." Our next Board meeting is scheduled for Feb. 18 via Zoom, at a time yet to be determined. The Board meetings are open to all members. If you want to attend, send Lois Powazek an email (loispow@cox.net) by the 16th so we can send you the Zoom link. Check your email inbox for details. General meetings are usually held the first Monday at 7 pm in Abravanel Hall. Please check your email for exact location, date and time. Only members will be informed of upcoming events, whether live or via Zoom. Join Theatre Arts so you can participate in all of our entertainment and activities. Your Board of Directors has voted to roll over 2020 paid dues to 2021. If you were NOT a member in 2020, please leave your $10 check in our envelope at the front desk when the Clubhouse reopens! Until then, our Board members will gladly accept membership checks or you can contact Cathy King at gertandcathy@ hotmail.com for details on how to join. Check out our new and improved website, where you can read of our activities, and check out past and future productions. The address is http://www.ohccdg.wixsite.com/theatrearts.
